TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

1. FAN / REMOTE IS NOT WORKING

   • Ensure the remote is within the 20 foot range of the receiver
   • To reset the remote control: 1) Turn off power to fan using the wall switch or circuit breaker.
   • 2. Remove batteries from remote. 3) Wait 10 seconds. 4) Replace batteries and turn power on Check batteries to insure they are good and oriented correctly Check to make sure the frequency switches (DIP Switches) from the remote to the receiver are set to the same frequency
   • Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers
   • If using a Variable Speed Wall Switch,ensure it is specifically designed for use with a ceiling fan.
   • Check the line wire connections to the fan and the switch wire connections in the switch housing per the instructions
   • If fan still does not work, please contact Customer Service Support@ParrotUncle.com

2. THE FAN IS NOISY

   • Make sure all motor housing screws are tight
   • Make sure the screws that attach fan blade to motor are tight
   • Make sure the wire nut connectors are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing
   • Allow 24-hour break in period. Most noises associated with the new fan may disappear during this time
   • if using a ceiling light kit,make sure the glassware is secured tightly
   • Make sure there is a short distance/gap from the ceiling to the top of the canopy. The canopy should not touch the ceiling!
   • Make sure your ceiling box is secure and that the rubber insulating pads are used between the mounting bracket and outlet box

3. THE FAN WOBBLES

   • Verify all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble problems are caused by loose parts).Once fan is properly installed,run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan self-adjust.
   • If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level using the following process:
   • a) select a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Then select the fan blade and measure from the center of the selected blade to point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned and repeat the measurement using the same point from the ceiling for every blade. Measurements should be within 1/8 inch.
   • b) If all deviation are less than 1/8 inch and the fan continues to wobble, please contact Customer Service Support@parrotUncle.com to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit

4. LIGHT IS NOT WORKING

   • Loose electrical connections.
     Shut off the branch circuit electricity at the fuse box or breaker panel and check the LED light fixture assembly electrical connectors for proper installation.

   • To reset the remote control: 1) Turn off power to fan using the wall switch or circuit breaker. 2) Remove batteries from remote. 3) wait 10 seconds. 4) Replace batteries and turn power on

AFTER INSTALLATION

Wobble
The fan blades have been adjusted in the factory to minimize any wobble
Note: ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are mounted on a rubber grommet. If the fan was mounted rigidly to the ceiling, It would cause excess vibration. Movement of A few centimeters is quite acceptable and does not suggest any problem to reduce the fan Wobble: Please check that all screws which secured the mounting bracket and downrod are secure.

Balancing a wobbling ceiling fan:

1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
2. Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by electing a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8″(0.32cm).
3. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, Interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.

Warning: To reduce the risk of personal injury, Do not bend the blade arm while installing, Balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.

Noise
When it is quiet (especially at night) you may hear occasional small noises. This is normal.
Please allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period, Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during the time.

Care and cleaning

1. Periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance required. Use a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the paint finish. Please make sure to turn off electricity power before you clean your fan
2. Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
3. Motor has permanently lubricated ball bearing. No need to oil.
   Note: Make sure the power is off at the electrical panel box before you attempt any cleaning or repairs.
